Inspiration

Inspired by the Japanese game show - Takeshi's Castle. On a random day, it suddenly came to my mind while I was thinking about what to build for the hackathon!

What it does

A 2D maze-based game where players navigate through a honeycomb maze to find the hidden exit while avoiding toxic gas and patrolling guards. The trick is to be fast and be careful!

How we built it

  • Pixi.js
  • Devvit
  • TypeScript

Challenges we ran into

I started quite late, so time itself was a major challenge! A major challenge was when the (webview) app wasn't running at all and it took a lot of time to get around that. Images weren't showing up either but thanks to the folks on devvit reddit, I got it working ^^

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I pretty much completed the game, I thought I wouldn't be able to make it. I guess that's something I'm proud of!

What we learned

Pixi.js , devvit all that good stuff. It was a fun experience.

What's next for Maze Escape

  • Add some sort of leaderboard for fastest escape
  • Add sound, improve the already added assets too
  • schedule maze posts weekly/daily
  • support for mobile
  • Try to make it multiplayer
    (and a lot of other things...)
